During the month of January, we were introduced to our first 2 word families, -at and -ug. We have made lists, played games, and did word work with our word families throughout the month. We also read a book called The Biggest Snowman Ever, and we learned all about the importance of team work. I thought it would be a really great learning opportunity for my kinders to work in learning teams to make our snowman word families.

This week, we read one of my favorite books ever, The Mitten. The kids had a blast looking through the keyholes on each page and making predictions about what would happen next based on the illustrations. With this book, we practiced a lot with retelling events in a story. We used fun animal masks and an over sized 'mitten.'
We also made mittens of our own during Writer's Workshop. We brainstormed animals that could have crawled into the mitten to get warm, but ultimately, the kinders wanted to be the ones to crawl into the mitten.
We have been working with number stories in Math this month. Check out our kinders practicing number stories in a fun way.
